ORDER

BEFORE THE COURT is the Report and Recommendation of the Magistrate Judge recommending that Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. 20) be granted in part and denied in part (Dkt. 24). No objections have been filed and the time in which to do so has passed. Upon consideration, the Report and Recommendation is adopted as the opinion of the Court and the Motion is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

A district court may accept, reject or modify a magistrate judge's report and recommendation. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1). In the absence of specific objections, there is no requirement that factual findings be reviewed de novo, and the court may accept, reject or modify, in whole or in part, the findings and recommendations. § 636(b)(1)(C); Garvey v. Vaughn, 993 F.2d 776, 779 n.9 (11th Cir. 1993). Legal conclusions are reviewed de novo, even in the absence of an objection. See LeCroy v. McNeil, 397 F. App'x 554, 556 (11th Cir. 2010) (citing United States v. Warren, 687 F.2d 347, 348 (11th Cir. 1982)); Cooper-Houston v, S. Ry. Co., 37 F.3d 603, 604 (11th Cir. 1994).

Accordingly,

1. The Report and Recommendation (Dkt. 24) is APPROVED and ADOPTED as the opinion of the Court for all purposes, including for appellate review.

2. Plaintiffs Motion for Default Judgment (Dkt. 20) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

3. The Clerk is directed to ENTER DEFAULT JUDGMENT in favor of Desiree Jeffrey and against Eastern Asset Services, LLC in the about of $16,640.00 plus post judgment interest calculated at the statutory rate.

4. The Clerk is directed to CLOSE the file.

DONE AND ORDERED.
